    This is how democracy works in any Capitalist system where the bourgeoisie have an outsized influence on the state and the proletariat have an undersized influence.

      An authoritarian oligarchy posing as a socialist republic would be better, am I right? Then our human rights can still be crushed by the state for the benefit of a chosen few, but the uniforms and anthem are better.

        A Socialist Republic would be better than a Capitalist Republic, yes. Human rights would be better represented if the profit motive was abolished and production was run democratically, rather than by competing warlords in Capitalism.
